Chapter 771: Blocked
Normally, any store owner who heard this kind of comment about their merchandise would be offended by Tan Bingyu’s words. However, knowing who this Mistress this young lady calls, the store owner knew that with that goddess’s standing all things on her would be top class.
The storeowner carrying an exquisite ancient box with her approached the young couple.
"Young miss, please check if this cloth would satisfy your needs. This is the top class cloth we have in our store. If it can catch your eyes then it’s worth bringing over!"
Tan Bingyu didn’t open the box in front of her immediately and looked at the storeowner. She also seems to expect the owner to get angry. However, contrary to her expectation, the storeowner remained calm and didn’t seem to be angry while making her be on guard and look at the owner of the store as if she was scheming something.
She asked, "You don’t seem to be angry. Are my words not frustrating enough?"
"The young miss shouldn’t worry too much. I was at the harbor that day and knew the identity of your mistress. Of course, these displayed clothes would be considered low grade compared to her robes. Those were made with premium materials. The cloth in this box cannot be considered premium but compared to the ones displayed in the store it can be considered rare material. If this one couldn’t catch your eyes then no store on this planet will be able to satisfy your requirement for the goddess’s clothing." The Storeowner explained.
Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue calmed down a bit when they heard her reasoning. Only then did the two check what was inside the box. Inside the box is a silver cloth that looks like silk but when touched it feels as if touching water, soft, hard to grasp and smooth touch but it’s almost impossible to tear as one’s hand can hardly grab it. It possesses the gradient color of black, silver and white with cotton-like patterns at its edges.
The young couple was surprised by this cloth and knew it would definitely fit their mistress well enough. After Tan Bingyu let it go, she immediately closed the box and looked at the owner.
She asked, "What is it worth?"
The storeowner smiled and raised three fingers.
"300 high grade spirit stones?" Xue Renxue guesses with a knitted eyebrows. He seems a bit impatient.
Tan Bingyu on the other hand looked calm and said, "3000 High grade spirit stones."
"As expected this young lady here had a good eye for the best items," the storeowner said. Then she asked, "Is our dear customer going to buy it?"
"Of course. Add a roll of that dark green with gold forest design, two rolls of that blue with snowflakes pattern, two rolls of that orange brown with sun and snowflake pattern and two rolls of grey maroon with simple patterns. Add a set of inner robes each, a set of outer robes, and underwear both female and male versions. Both thin and thick kinds. Secure the cloth inside of this box to the most exquisite box you have in the store Tally the total we are paying full!" Tan Bingyu said.
She placed her hand into the empty table in front of her and left a small hill of high grade stones that is more than 5000 in number. The storeowner was dumbfounded. The Moon Goddess gave each of the three thousands high grade spirit stones as allowance and gave another twenty thousands for buying necessities. She gave most to her grandmother and left a quarter in her possession which is now all used to buy clothes which would be sewed into ancient robes of all kinds.
Tan Bingyu said, "I will leave you the address and the list of proportions forever on in our group. At least a set must be delivered tomorrow."
"Y-Yes. Yes, we will do our best to deliver a set tomorrow. As for the one in the box I will take it with us. If the mistress is satisfied with it, you can bring it back tomorrow after the first delivery." Tan Bingyu said.
The Storeowner was dumbfounded as only one box of cloth was taken away. Even after Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue took their leave, the storeowner can barely move her eyes on the high grade spirit stones on the table.
Xue Renxue asked, "Is it alright to leave just like that, Bing’er?"
"Do you dare to run away with the Mistress’s money?" Tan Bingyu asked.
This question alone rendered Xue Renxue speechless. Though the Mistress might not care he is afraid that he might regret it the moment he had done it. However, this silence was enough for him to realize that no one would dare cheat the Moon Goddess’ money.
Tan Bingyu said, "Let’s go walk around for a bit before meeting the others. There is still some time to waste."
She reached out a hand towards Xue Renxue asking him to hold her hand. The latter joyously grabbed his wife’s hand and entangled their fingers as they walked around the marketplace. As for the box, it was safely hidden in Tan Bingyu’s storage device.

On the other hand, in the Trading Hall at the center of the marketplace.
They had entered an expensive looking building which was not only guarded by powerful looking cultivators but also only welcomed people with status. Unlike the young couple, Tan Huangyu and Tang Yuyi remained calm even in a place they had never been before. For Tan Huangyu, this place might be new to his eyes but he remained composed as revealing his real feeling would allow others to notice his weakness. As for his wife, she is born from a sect which can be considered one of the strongest in Middle Haven, nothing outside the Immortal Realm can move her composure.
However, the guards at the door blocked them due to the strangeness of their clothing. They are still wearing modern clothing at this time though it possessed a slight ancient style, it is different from ancient robes.
"Stop!"
"Show something to identify yourselves!"
"Not just anyone can enter this place!"
The guards looked at Tan Huangyu and Tang Yuyi with disdain thinking they were upstarts pretending to be wealthy. However, the old couple remain calm under such circumstances. Tang Yuyi might have fallen in the Moon Star injured and her original cultivation had regressed. But after her injuries were treated by the Moon Goddess her original cultivation had now returned to normal. She glances at the two guards coldly and emits an aura of a Late Mahayama Realm making the two guards fall on their knees and leaving the crowd dumbfounded.
Though the Mahayama realm is considered weak in the Immortal World, in the other planets outside of it this realm is already considered strong.
"Daring to stop me from running an errand to my Mistress. You sure are bold!" Tang Yuyi said.
The guards and the cultivators watching the fun all regret what they’ve done before Tang Yuyi made a move. This overbearing aura was noticed by some seniors of the trading hall and thought that they were under some attack. But when Young Master Su Liyi arrived at the scene he was dumbfounded as he recognized the old couple by the entrance of the Trading Hall.
"Senior Tan, Senior Tang! Why are you here?" Young Master Su Liyi asked as he happily approached the old couple.
Seeing someone from the authority of the place, Tang Yuyi retracted her aura and looked at the young man with a bit of an unfriendly look which Young Master Su and the other seniors behind him noticed immediately.
"Su-Shaoye (young master), it seems you don’t teach your people well. We are here to run an errand for the Mistress but these two fools block us by the door. Does Su-Shaoye welcome us in your territory?" Tang Yuyi said.
Young Master Su Liyi was stunned by the words of the elder before him and he didn’t expect that the guards of his hall would offend someone who served the special guest. Moreover, they are here for an errand from the goddess herself and was blocked here.
’What are these two guards doing? Do they want me to offend the Moon Goddess!? Even if you give me nine lives I don’t dare to do so. But to think these two elders were at Mahayama Realm. This is something unexpected.’ Thoughts of Su Liyi at this moment.
Young master Su Liyi gestured to the elders to handle the guards as he needs to coax the two before him
"Seniors, this is indeed Su Liyi’s mistake. My guards didn’t have eyes and offended you. They shall be punished no... they are fired. I will send them away."
"Send them away!"
The other seniors gestured to the other guards to take these two foolish guards who dared to look down on their guests. They had already regretted it when the old lady’s aura forced them to kneel down. They thought that these two old things were bumpkins, when in reality it was their mistake for having eyes on the top of their heads.
Young master Su Liyi smiled at the two elders and treated them with respect and politeness. This is all thanks to their relationship to the moon goddess.
"Since the problem is resolved. Would the seniors allow me to escort you inside?" He asked.
Tan Huangyu and Tang Yuyi didn’t make things bigger as there are still lots of things they need to do.
